Section 2 — Installation Planning
Note The LAN configuration in Figure 3 is an example only. Please note that the
installation and configuration of the Content Gateway and the interfaces
between the Branding Element Production LAN and the Content Gateway
uses customer-supplied equipment which is not included with Maestro or the
Channel Branding hardware.
Figure 3. Branding Exchange Gateway LAN Configuration
The Deployment/Content Gateway PC is the only machine that has access
to both the House LAN and the Maestro LAN. This configuration will min-
imize the impact to both the house branding element production network
and the Maestro network.
The Content Gateway requires that the configuration of a LAN be separate
from the Maestro Facility and Control LANs. If the GUI control panel is also
installed on the Deployment PC, it will be necessary to add a third Network
Interface Card (NIC) to the Deployment PC/Content Gateway in order for
the Branding Element Production LAN to have access to the Content
Gateway for storing branding elements.
Note For simplicity, Grass Valley recommends the Belkin Gigabit USB 2.0 Network
Adapter (Belkin part number F5D5055 shown in
Figure 4 ) as it can be added
easily without opening the PC. This hardware has been tested in a configura-
tion similar to that illustrated in
Figure 3 .
